About

humble beginnings

Cutting Edge Kitchens grew to become what it is today from rather humble beginnings; a cabinet guy and a side project. The owner, Ben Kalkman, was managing a cabinet shop crew at the time and had made a few granite countertops on the side for various customers. When he realized that the “countertops on the side” gig was taking more time and reaping more profits than his actual job, he took the plunge into full-time granite work and bootstrapped the business from essentially nothing.

Over the years, Cutting Edge Kitchens has grown into a top-tier countertop business and collected a stellar crew of dedicated employees. We specialize in beautiful high-end and custom work that explores new creative vistas, and work with a broad assortment of materials including natural stone, engineered solid-surface quartz, and large-format gauged porcelain tile.

The CEK Team

Cutting Edge Kitchens started as a small granite shop, and has since grown into a trusted source for full kitchen & bath remodels. We have a reputation for pushing the limits and attempting the absurd to achieve the impossible. We are a small, close-knit team, united in our objective to transform spaces and have fun while we do it!
